Working at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA: 14 Employee Reviews

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Employee

"I have volunteered and worked for Dana-Farber for a while now as a Temp. I absolutely love the work environment. Everyone is extremely kind and helpful. It is difficult to get a position there because the bar is set so high(makes sense since it is one of the top institutions). Pay is calculated very fairly and I have never had a problem with my paycheck. 10/10 would work there again."
